[QUOTE="1100 Remington Man, post: 862631, member: 29824"] I know I'm a true long range hunter with my longest shot on a Antelope at just over 500 yds. I did fall in love with Leupolds VX-III 4.5x 14 40mm CDS on my Model 700 .223 Rem for Prairie Dog hunting works great. I liked it so much I bought another 3.5x10 40mm which is on my 300 H & H right now, which is headed to Idaho next week to go Elk hunting. I thought about putting on the 4.5x14 40mm VX III on the 300 H & H but was afraid of less field of view. I am surprised field of view is not a problem for some of you or is it ? I also know I like to buy American & that's just the Redneck in me. So I try to keep Americans working when I can. This is a major reason for Leupold scopes & rifles for me or am I missing something ? The reason I ask is I took the 3.5x 10 40mm off my .264 Win Mag so my winter project will be looking for a new scope for it. This rifle is a Model 70 XTR in H S Precision stock with factory 24 inch barrel it averages less than 2.5 inches at 300 yds With Nosler Brass CCI primers 250 IMR 4350 & Nosler 120gr. BT with I have had great success with Mule Deer & Antelope. So if not another Leupold what & why ? Thanks & Good Hunting [/QUOTE]
